Ministry Fair at Coffee Hour

Youth Group

 

Saturday 10/3

St. Paul's at the Bulls

Meet at the church at noon for tailgating.  See Hobart Brown for tickets

Ministry Fair is an opportunity to celebrate the ministries of the church and for all of us to find out a little about all the things that are going on here at the church and that the church is doing out in the world (it's also a chance to get involved in a new ministry).
 
If you are the head of a ministry at St. Paul's, prepare a table display about your ministry and make sure you have someone to staff the table too.

Yes, you read that right, there will be dancing on Milton Street in Williamsville

 

Calvary Church is having an Oktoberfest September 26 from 4 to 8 p.m.

 

Go, lift a beer, have a brat and a dance and help support our neighbors

 

We will bless the rectory at 6:30 p.m. and start the service of Celebration at 6:45.  Please mark your calendars and plan to be there. 

Calling all Youth - and your friends with creepy imaginations 

The next youth group meeting will be September 27 after the 10 o'clock service.  One of the things we will be talking about is planning the Haunted House for the Halloween party, so bring your friends who can help us plan the creepiest Haunted House ever.

And St. Paul's is joining in the fun.  We will be going to the UB Bulls game on October 3. 

 

The game is at 3:30.  We will meet at the Church at noon to head over and tailgate, so bring your tailgate food & chairs.

 

See Hobart Brown for your ticket and remember to wear blue!

 

Blessing of the Animals - is a St. Francis' day tradition. We will bless all animals (live and stuffed) at 3 p.m. 

 

We will bless both live and stuffed animals.  Please have your pet on a leash or in a carrier or in some other way under control.  
 
We will be collecting donations of pet food for the Pet Food Pantry at the Buffalo Companion Animal Network, which helps people who are having financial difficulties keep their pets.  We will also be collecting gently used stuffed animals.  St. Martha's Guild will clean those and take them to the Erie County Home.
 

Clarence Walk for Meals on Wheels & Clarence Food Pantry  will end at St. Paul's at about 3 p.m. also.  It starts at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church at 1 p.m.  If you'd like to walk, get a sponsorship form from Pastor Vicki.  If you walk with your dog (and your cat if you can get it to walk on a leash), you can arrive just in time for the animal blessing.

We are reviving the tradition of the St. Paul's Halloween Party.  It will be Friday October 30 from 6 to 8 p.m.  The Youth Group is hosting a haunted house.  The Sunday School teachers are planning some games, the Parish Life committee is organizing the food and the parking for the Trunk or Treat.
 
We need a few more people to plan some games.  We also need people to bring food and to participate in Trunk or Treat.
 
If you'd like to help the youth group with the haunted house, contact Andrea Brown at andrealtbrown@gmail.com.
 
If you'd be willing to plan and run a game, contact Mona Gaddis at megaddis@verizon.net.  Mona won't be able to actually be at the party, because Diocesan Convention is the same day.  So if you'd be willing to be the games coordinator, let her know that too.
 
If you'd be willing to help with food or trunk or treat contact Mary McCall at mary@nightflax.com.
 
If you'd be willing to help publicize the event in the wider community contact Pastor Vicki at paulsrector@gmail.com.
 
Kate Macke has agreed to be the over-all coordinator - she will earn a special place in heaven for that, if you'd like to help coordinate contact her at kmacke@azerty.com.
 
If you want a great parking spot, plan on decorating your trunk and bringing treats for the kids, because Trunk or Treat participants get the best spots.
